Chapter 911, Church Turbulence
“No wonder the church is being renovated.”
"So, the island owner has established his own sect, but I haven't heard of him recruiting followers."
"It can't be a sect related to the necromancy profession!"
"The Holy See will never allow such a sect to be established."
"What a coincidence! The island owner is not afraid of the Holy See."
"Too……."
No one mentioned the topic of electric lights; everyone was discussing sectarian matters.
The Vatican's church was driven away from the island and the original building was renovated. It now seems that the island owner had planned to establish his own sect a long time ago.
Even though Wu Heng has a high reputation on the island, it is difficult for a necromancer to establish a sect.
It still reminds me of sects and organizations like evil gods.
The topic was discussed for a while before the voices gradually became quieter.
Someone raised his hand and asked, "Mr. Saban, what is so different about the Lingqi Cult? Does it already have members?"
The others also looked up.
Saban smiled and said, "The newspaper didn't say the exact time, but the church will open the day after tomorrow. Anyone interested can go and have a look."
The drinkers nodded to show their understanding.
Saban continued, "Okay, let's move on to the next piece of intelligence..."
……
Church, meeting room.
The entire room still retains its original decoration style. Apart from replacing some furniture and adding electric lights, no complicated renovation has been carried out.
What's more, the original decoration of the Vatican was already good.
Inside the oval conference table, Wu Heng and Shannara were talking.
Shannella asked, "Don't we need to wait for news from the headquarters? If we open the door and spread the doctrine directly, won't people find something to blame us for?"
"I have already talked to Leader Lilith, and our headquarters will just report it. It's fine as long as the sect doesn't conduct any illegal rituals." Wu Heng replied.
"Yeah!" Shannara nodded.
Dong dong dong~!
There was a knock on the door, and then it opened.
Two wood elves wearing dark blue priest robes walked directly in.
With a bit of shyness on his face, he stood in front and said, "Chief, elders, we are ready to change."
The two of them were wearing the latest design of priest robes, which were of course also designed by Shannara.
On the top of the head is a priest's hat that completely covers the head. The brim of the hat has lace embroidered with silver thread, like a wreath surrounding the outside.
The robe is made of dark blue satin with a faint luster on the surface. The collar is a stand-up collar design, and the edge is still embroidered with silver thread with the necromancer and several common symbols and patterns among wood elves.
The overall look gives off a mysterious and serious tone, but the elements of flowers, branches and vines make it less gloomy.
"It looks good." Wu Heng nodded.
Shannella also smiled and said to the opposite side, "Sit down!"
After the two priests sat down opposite them, Wu Heng took out two copies of the Holy Scripture of Spiritual Enlightenment and placed them on the table and pushed them in front of them. "This is the doctrine of our sect. Go back and take a look at it first and try to familiarize yourself with it."
"Yes, Chief." The two men took it and placed it in front of them.
Wu Heng continued to take out a book and several scattered props from the space ring.
"Evelin! This is the 'Preaching Book', a rare item. Its effect is to make what you say more convincing. The side effect is that you need to confess to the book after using it. If you don't confess within 24 hours, you will be unable to speak for three days."
Wu Heng introduced it and then said, "I give you this rare item. Use it when you preach."
Surprise flashed in Evelyn's eyes. This was the first time she had seen such a strange object.
It was under such circumstances that the leader was brought to him.
He glanced at Shannara across from him, and when she nodded slightly, he said respectfully, "Thank you, Chief. I will make good use of this rare item."
Evelyn's voice was still gentle. Even if she was a necromancer's priestess, her voice and gentle appearance would not make people feel threatened.
Shannara still knows how to choose people.
Wu Heng hummed, and his gaze continued to fall on another wood elf girl with green curly hair and wheat-colored skin.
Ceria also looked over boldly, with some anticipation in her eyes.
Wu Heng smiled and said, "There is no suitable item for you at the moment. Shannara said you don't have a space ring yet. Here is a space ring, and some props to improve your positive status. They are all for you."
"Really? Thank you, Chief." Celia took it happily.
I thought to myself, it is indeed faster to cling to someone powerful.
All the props I have accumulated over the years are not as many as what I got today.
After the things were distributed, Shannella took over the topic and said, "Keep the things. The church will open the day after tomorrow. Evelyn, you will be responsible for spreading the faith, and Ceria, you will be responsible for some other guidance work. When the time comes, the association and the city hall will also arrange people to assist you, so don't worry."
"Yes, Elder." The two answered seriously.
Shannara continued, "Do it well. As long as you do this well, the leader will not treat you unfairly. You will have wealth and rank in the future."
The two looked at him with fiery eyes, and Wu Heng smiled and nodded.
Wow, you start making big promises right away.
After saying everything that needed to be said, Shannara said, "Okay, go back, read more of the holy scriptures, and try to memorize them."
"Yes!" The two stood up and saluted.
"Let's go back first." Wu Heng walked to Shannara's side, released the teleportation spell, and the two of them disappeared.
Wait until there are only two people left in the meeting room.
"Wow! The leader is so generous," said Celia, a lively girl with green hair.
Evelyn smiled gently, “Yes, let’s do it well and don’t miss this opportunity.”
Ceria held her arms and whispered, "Chief and Elder Shannara, is it . . . ."
"Don't talk nonsense." Evelyn immediately covered her mouth.
Ceria muttered, "I mean, they seem to be quite compatible."
……
Island owner's mansion.
Wu Heng and Shannara appeared in the courtyard.
Shannella opened her watch and said, "I'm going to go to the Fifth Elder and ask him about the church."
In the agreement between the two parties, the wood elves promised him to build 20 churches in the tribe.
The church on Treasure Island is about to open, so I'd like to check with the Wood Elves to inquire about the progress.
Wu Heng nodded, "Take good care of it for the Fifth Elder for me."
"Yeah." Shannara nodded, called a few skeletons, and left in the island owner's carriage.
Wu Hengze said hello to the maids and returned to the study upstairs.
When he opened the door, his three ghosts were in the room.
Seeing Wu Heng coming in, Xiao Xiao quickly flew over and said, "Uncle, it's so lively outside. Everyone is discussing church matters. It's been a while since I distributed newspapers and it hasn't been so lively."
Wu Heng sat down beside him, the water in the air condensed and fell into the cup, and asked, "What is everyone's attitude?"
Xiao Xiao said: "It's good, I feel very happy."
Benny added, "On Treasure Island, most islanders plan to go and take a look. A few people feel that it will anger the Vatican, so they are more worried about this."
"It seems that the residents of the island still support us." Wu Heng picked up the water glass and took a sip.
Granda said: "Life on the island has changed visibly. These people must support you. Life is better than in places like the Royal City."
"And the maids in the tavern on the island are your staunch supporters. I've seen a few of them chanting your name and praying before doing anything," Benny continued.
Tavern waitress was one of the first rules set by Wu Heng.
Women of low birth who make their living in the sex trade can learn to perform drama. As long as they can get started, the city hall will provide them with job transfer scrolls for free.
For these people, Wu Heng is the one who truly uses money to help them change their lives.
Wu Heng also smiled, "It seems that everything is meaningful."
"The Necromancer faction has been given a positive image in your hands," Granda said.
"The light in their hearts!" Wu Heng continued to ask, "What do the residents think about the electric lights?"
Xiao Xiao said, "There's nothing to discuss. We're all discussing church matters."
"It's better if there's no discussion." Wu Heng nodded.
Chatted with the three ghosts in the room for a while.
Shannara came to visit with the five elders, and Wu Heng accompanied them to chat for a while on the first floor.
I also heard about the progress of the wood elves.
The sites for 20 churches have been selected and they are being built one city at a time near the Emerald Sea. They are now in the construction and decoration stage.
Once there are results, we can arrange for priests to go there and spread the faith.
The second thing is that the Wood Elves and Treasure Island have signed an agreement to jointly develop potions, and the alchemists from the Wood Elves are already on the way.
We will arrive at Treasure Island in a few days and start developing medicines.
They chatted until dusk, when the fifth elder got up and left.
……
Had dinner.
Wu Heng followed the maids to the training room.
Following the three-eyed skeleton 'Bubble', he trained with polearms.
I plan to use the 'Bronze Spear' as my main weapon later, so I still need to get familiar with the spear, although there won't be many opportunities to use it in close combat.
The weapons clanged and the skeletons fought for more than three hours.
The women in the family sat aside drinking water, with some surprise in their eyes.
"The master has such good physical strength!" Robe sighed, shaking his calves.
Not to mention skeletons, there is no such thing as physical strength.
Wu Heng was actually maintaining a high-intensity fight without even breaking a sweat.
Minnie put her arm around her shoulders and said, "Okay, don't you know?"
Robbe shook her hand off her shoulder, and Shannella said, "Wu Heng is a hero now. His physical condition is different from that of ordinary professionals. He can recover from physical damage, not to mention physical exhaustion."
The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!
"Minnie, listen to what Sister Shannella said. You are talking like a gangster from the Black Dog Gang in Rentam City." Robe said with a pout.
"A gangster can't live in such a big island owner's house." Minnie said with a smile.
A few of them sat aside and chatted for a while, and when they looked at the time, it was already 9 o'clock in the evening.
On weekdays, they just clean up, take a shower, play games or chess, and go back to their rooms to rest.
But Wu Heng's training allowed them to stand up again, walk into the training ground, and train with their own skeletons.
10:15.
System prompts appear from your ears.
[Unlock expertise: Polearm Expertise (beginner).]
Wu Heng raised his eyebrows.
I reached the entry level directly on the first day of training. With my current attributes, my learning ability is indeed much faster than before.
Putting away their weapons, the maids beside them also finished their training.
"Don't get too tired, go back and rest."
"Okay, master."
